Inky - 98 RS Supercharged

Hi all,

Long time MX5 owner but first time i’ve created a nutz thread.

After a lot of soul searching on what to buy as my next toy, the pull of a another MX5 became stronger and stronger. This car came up for sale locally and after a viewing I just had to buy it.

Previous owner had carried out a big list of mods and the spec is as follows:

  • 1998 Japanese import RS
  • 6 speed box
  • Torsen type 2 LSD
  • Eaton M45 supercharger from a 2005 Mini Cooper S. Teflon coated and rebuilt before install (new needle roller beatings and oil)
  • Salon Motorsport mounting and intake kit
  • Boost Products intercooler and Bofi Racing pipework kit
  • Forge FMDV004 BoV
  • 640cc injectors
  • ME442 standalone ECU (plug and play). Integrated wideband and 4bar MAP sensor and SD card for data logging
  • TR Lane roll bar
  • Bofi Racing lightened flywheel and hybrid paddle clutch
  • Tein Street Basis Z coilovers (rebuilt)
  • Genuine Quaife gear knob
  • Lotus Elise drivers seat on original sliders

Paintwork isnt the best and its needs some tidying, but it will serve as a great base for a track car.

Here’s a pic:

Thanks

Alex
